MAGAZINE SMOKING-PIPE.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that we, JOHN WV. CRUMF. andA'rwELL AUSTIN, of the United States, residing at Stillwater, in thecount-y of Payne and State of Oklahoma, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Magazine Smoking-Pipes, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to magazine smoking pipes, and has for an objectto provide a pipe with a magazine wherein the pipe and the tobacco orsmokable product can be carried as one package, the construction beingsuch that the bowl of the pipe can be readily and quickly filled at thewill of the user.

Another object of the invention is to provide a magazine pipe whereinthe bottom of the bowl forms a closure for the magazine when the bottomis in one position, whereby to cut-off communication between the bowland the magazine to prevent the tobacco in the latter from accidentallytaking re.

In the drawing, forming' a portion of this specification and in whichlike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several viewsFigure 1 is a vertical section through a pipe showing the bottom of thebowl adjusted to form a closure for the magazine of the pipe. Fig. 2 isa similar view showing the bottom adjusted to establish communicationbetween the bowl and the magazine and to thereby permit the tobacco inthe magazine to be conveyed to the bowl. Fig. 3 is a section through thebowl of the pipe showing a slight modification thereof.

1n the preferred embodiment of the invention the pipe comprises a bowl 1which may be of any suitable obvious configuration or construction whichmay be found valuable or advantageous to the use of the article. Themagazine comprises a horizontally disposed chamber 2 in which a quantityof tobacco sufficient to fill the bowl several times may be placed. Thischamber may have its walls formed as an integral part of the bowl 1, oras is obvious, the chamber may be made as a detachable part of the bowlwithout departing from the spirit of the invention. This chamber is alsopreferably formed as an integral part of the stem 3. The stem 3 isprovided with a smoke channel or bore 4 which opens at one end into thebowl 1. The chamber 2 also opens at one end into the bowl 1, where-Specication of Letters Patent.

by communication is established between the chamber and the bowl. Thebowl 1 is provided with a plug 5. The bowl 1 is elongated and the plug 5is constructed whereby it can be freely adjusted t-o the position shownin Fig. 1 to close communication between the bowl and said chamber for apurpose to be hereinafter described. `When the plug is in this positionthe upper edge or surface thereof is disposed slight-ly below the smokeduct or bore 4L. When the plug 5 is in the position shown in Fig. 2 theupper edge thereof will be disposed below the plane of the discharge endof the magazine chamber '2, whereby the latter and the bowl are in opencommunication to permit the bowl to be supplied with a charge oftobacco. With a view to holding the plug 5 in its adjusted position, asshown in Fig. 1, we thread the same at 6. This threaded portion isadapted to engage with the thread 7 on the interior walls of the bowl.The threads 7 and 8 project beyond the inner walls of the pipe bowl andthe threads 6 are formed on that portion of the plug 5 whose diameterexceeds the diameter of the other portions of the plug whereby to effectthe proper adjustments of the plug` and its connection with the threads7 and 8 as desired. 1When the plug is in the position shown in Fig. 2,the threads 6 are engaged with the similar threads 8 on the interiorwalls of the bowl. To facilitate the adjustment of the plug to thevarious positions described, we provide the same with a knurledmanipulating knob 9.

The outer end of the chamber 2 is closed by a plug 10. This plug has arecess 11 formed therein which is designed to receive the keeper pin 12on the springy member 18, the latter being secured to the walls of thechamber 2 in any suit-able Well known manner. A follower 14 is locatedin the chamber and it is designed under the influence of the extensilespring 15 to bear against the tobacco so that sufficient pressure isexerted thereagainst to cause a quantity of the tobacco to be dischargedinto the bowl 1 when desired. The plug 10 and the follower 1e arepreferably secured at. 16, to the spring 15, whereby when the plug isremoved the follower and the spring will be carried therewith. The stem3 is connected with a mouthpiece, such as that shown at 17.

ln the modified form of the invention shown in Fig. 3 the plug 18 of thebowl is iXedly secured, at 19, to a sliding member 20. rlhis member ismounted in a suitable guide 2l upon the exterior of the bowl. rlhemember is provided with notches 22 which are adapted to interchangeablyreceive the guide, whereby the plug can be readily held in either of itsadjusted positions.

Having described the essential details of the article itis said that thecapacit-y of the chamber 2 exceeds the capacity of the bowl l so thatthe latter can be supplied with a number of charges of tobacco on oneiilling of the magazine chamber. Vthen plug 5 of the pipe is adjusted toopen communication between the bowl and the magazine chamber the tobaccoin the lat-ter will be moved under the oi'lice of the followerl lll andconveyed to the bowl. After this operation the plug 5 of the bowl isadjusted to cause its upper surface to lie wholly below the plane of thesmoke duct or bore et and also to a. position to securely close thedischarge end of the magazine chamber. lt is now seen that the tobaccoin the bowl may be lighted and the pipe used as in the well knownmanner. lt is of course understood that when the plug is adjusted in anupward direction the tobacco will be carried therewith and the charge ofthe tobacco admitted to the bowl will then be suilicient tosubstantially till that part of the bowl between the top thereof and theupper surface of the plug 5.

We claim:

l. A pipe including a bowl having a chamber for containing a smolableproduct, a stem carried by the bowl and disposed above the chamber andhaving a smoke duct opening directly into the bowl, a plug adjustablymounted in the bowl and adapted in one position to lie wholly below theplane of the smoke passage and to cover the discharge end of themagazine chamber and adapted when adjusted to another position touncover the discharge end of the said magazine chamber, and a movablefollower located in the chamber and bearing against the smokable productso as to force a quantity of the product into the bowl on one positionof the said plug.

2. A pipe including a bowl having a. chamber for containing a smolrableproduct, a stem carried by the bowl and disposed above the chamber andhaving a smolre duct opening directly in the bowl, a plug adjustablymounted in the bowl and adapted in one position to lie wholly below theplane of the smoke passage and to cover the discharge end of themagazine chamber and adapted when adjusted to another position touncover the discharge end of the said magazine chamber, a followerlocated in the chamber and including a closure portion, and means forholding the closure portion secured in the chamber whereby the follower'is held operatively in Contact with the smokable product.
